@goosehd don't get me wrong, I am loving the warmth, but the Chinook headaches are real. The city is going to be having an Advil shortage with how many Chinooks have been rolling in.

805 Bib day and the sun is shining. ️Whiskey boy is sure digging the mellow weather as well.

Happy Friday. 1955s and the shop shirt. ️

I just finished Everything All At Once, by Steph Catudal on the weekend. Given it's World Cancer Day, I thought I would shout out this book. Avid runners are likely familiar with her husband, Tommy Rivs cancer journey. But holy shit, this book puts it into perspective. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but it was heavy and inspiring. Really dug it.

Happy Wednesday. ️

Getting out of the city for the weekend.

Found our accomodations.

Twisted narrative? Damn I hate to rant, but no sales, no vouchers? Who cares. I always know IH will price it right, make shit they stand behind, and let the product speak for itself. This consistency is the foundation to quality, not a slight at the consumer. What pulled me to IH in the first place was fewer, better things. All "sales" say to me is cleanup duty on a decision made upstream...I know those are broad strokes. The pressures on Japan are real, and the hype train is real. As part of the forum, maybe we can help out. If you've got 10 pairs of selvedge denim, maybe wear what you already own, get those fades! If you grabbed every piece of kit from last seasons drops, maybe sit one out and make use of what you have. Buying less, but better, is kinda the whole point of this IMO. @Matt has some sage advice from his podcast episode. Write it down on a white board, and give it some time. So maybe we all just need some Iron Heart white boards to let things marinate before we gobble up everything.

@Danimal506 I had some links removed on my curb chain bracelet size C. Brought it to a local silversmith and they dialed it in for $120 CAD. I just did some digging for local custom silversmiths as opposed to going the store front jeweler route.

@worn2fade amazing!!!

@ZackB hell yah, that jacket!!

@Oaktavia you sir, truly are an Indigo Wizard.

@Matt Fingers crossed for LP4 in 2026!

For all the Midwest sad boys out there.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot

I am not a prolific reader by any means, choosing audiobooks often over traditional books. My wife knocked off 75 books last year, which is just madness to me. But I certainly want to get some more under my belt this year. One of my favorite comedians, Anthony Jeselnik is doing a book club for 2026. 1 Book per month as a way for people to dip their toes back into it. He recently released the first book for January, The Getaway by Jim Thompson. I just picked it up yesterday and am now pretty excited to see what each month brings.

@Mizmazzle no glasses needed to read the days on this bad boy!

This forum really is a gem. So stoked to get my hands on this shirt. First wear for this new to me beauty.

@GoodtimeJohnny boom! Sick fit. Got the same Ampal hat. "Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so ON THE ROAD."

Hey All,

Looking to get my hands on an IHJ-118 (no preference for black or olive) in size large for a layering piece. If anyone feels like moving on from theirs please let me know.
Thanks!

@Mizmazzle preach brotha!
